Brian @ Bushboy’s World is the host for this week’s Monochrome Madness. His theme is chairs in case you haven’t guessed. I’ve picked a few from my archives but I do have a special chair to share too.
The chair above was my husband’s grandmother’s. It is an antique (Victorian?) nursing chair. It has been reupholstered in yellow silk. It is a beautiful piece of furniture, but doesn’t look at all comfortable to nurse a feeding baby.

It would be quite alarming having this hanging over you while studying.

A great selection and use of selective colour Ali. I agree about the nursing chair.
Thanks for joining in my MM#29 prompt 😀
Thanks Brian, it was a fun theme
Happy you had fun Ali 😀
What a brilliant collection, Ali. Your grandma’s chair is very special, as is the ‘dinosaur’ one, but I know which I’d choose!
I don’t think any of them look that comfortable, maybe the chair with the cat but would then be full of hairs!!
Methinks you photographed a sensible cat . . . perchance not in the most interesting chair but one comfortable . . . 🙂 ?
That old chair is a real heirloom, but doesn’t look that comfortable. The cat on the other hand looks very cosy!
Thanks Sarah, it looks nice in our bedroom. I think I may have tried when I was feeding but was too uncomfortable!
That school chair is simply frightening. 🙂 On the other hand, your family’s restored chair is a jewel, even if it may not be comfortable to nurse a child.
Thanks Edigio, I’m not sure who will want it though out of my kids!
Beautiful pictures. I love the pickle one most because it reminds me of a giant green chair at a restaurant called Pickles Place that we use to stop at all the time 🙂
Thanks Meg, must be a thing then with pickle places!
I agree with you. The nursing chair is a treasure but doesn’t look very comfortable for sitting in. The big green pickle chair looks like fun.
Thanks Carol, we have a few on that chair
Cats always know which seat is the most comfortable, so I’ll take that one even with hairs perhaps I’ll better not wear black.
Haha thanks for your comments Suzanne
You have a great set of chairs Alison, the nursing chair is really interesting and I agree it doesn’t look so comfortable.
Thanks Leanne ☺️
Love that style of putting a spot of colour to the monochrome photo.
Thanks Teresa, makes it a bit more interesting
